Breeding

strongly encouraged. Combining different species may cause other, previously unknown species to appear. The working speed of a queen bee of a mixed breed will be influenced not only by her primary species, but also by her secondary. There is also a diminished chance that some of the secondary's primary product will be produced. Mating a Forest queen bee and a Noble queen bee might result in a Forest-Noble queen which is not as fast as a pure bred Forest queen or Noble queen, but which will produce a lesser amount of honeydew in addition to the usual honeycombs of the Forest bees.
